Search the Faculty Handbook

This handbook serves as a guideline for the governance of the faculty at California
Lutheran University.

Plans for a handbook began during the first academic year that classes were offered
(1960-61) and in its first draft, the faculty handbook was a comprehensive document
that included governance also of student and administrative affairs. The handbook
has been revised a number of times throughout the history of the school, most notably
in 1972 and in l990. This edition of the handbook recognizes the growth of student affairs and administrative
governance structures in recent years.

Professional staff and members of the University administration are now governed by
a separate administrative handbook. Student affairs are governed by the CLU student handbook. This handbook edition focuses
primarily on the areas of responsibility that are delegated by the Board of Regents
to faculty governance and on faculty personnel policies.
